My Summer in the Country I think the countryside is the best place to spend the summer holidays. I live in the village of Duliby. So I spent my summer in the countryside. The village is very big and very beautiful. The houses in the village are big too and they look lovely surrounded by fruit-trees and bushes and you can see lots of flowers in front of each of them. My family lives in a nice four-room house. Behind the house there is a large vegetable garden where we grow potatoes, cucumbers, cabbages, onions, carrots, beets, dill and other vegetables. My father and I liked to work in the vegetables garden: we watered the vegetables and weeded them. You can see lot of apples, plums, apricot, berries, grapes, peaches, cherries, black currants and raspberries in the garden. I have quite forgotten to mention our domestic animals. I have hens, chickens, a dog, turkeys and rabbits that live in the barn. My dad and brother take care of them. They feed the animals. Summer in Town Some boys and girls on their summer vacations do not go to the camp, to the sea or the country. They just stay at home in town with their families. Of course, vacations in town are not as interesting as in the country or at the camp. But when you want to make you summer vacations interesting you must make a plan what to do. Here is my plan: 1. To help my mother about the house. 2. To read books recommended by the teachers. 3. To learn to cook meals. So, I helped my parents about the house every day:I cleaned the room and washed up. Sometimes I went shopping. When my parents came back from their work they took me for a walk. Sometimes we went to the café, river or the cinema. On fine sunny days we went to the river. When the weather was rainy I read books recommended by the teachers, watched films on TV or listened to music. On weekends we went to the forest. There we picked raspberries and blueberries. At home we made juice and jam from berries. I learned not only to make jam but to cook meat. I liked my summer vacations very much. And what about you?”
